Johnny Rico as Bruno Mars Event Entertainment Hire For Corporate Events, Wedding Receptions, Birthdays +

Basic would be wireless PA system with wireless mic, speakers and a way to play the music.

I would need to know the size of the stage or are I would be performing in.

I do not provide any equipment.

I cannot.

I've gone many big gigs that would be under different categories. Under the corporate events category, I've worked for Netflix in Los Angeles, Microsoft in Las Vegas, Zillow on the Island of Hawai'i and Lollapalooza in Chicago . Under the wedding category, I got to work with Jake Paul in 2019 when he married Tana Mongeau.

My favorite type of event? Easy—anything where the crowd is ready to party and sing along. Weddings, corporate shows, birthday parties or packed dance floors—I live for that moment when the energy hits and it feels like a real Bruno Mars concert.

I’ve been performing professionally since 2017, entertaining crowds all across the U.S. at weddings, corporate events, and private parties. It all started when people kept telling me I looked like Bruno Mars, so I leaned into it—built my skills in dance, worked as a choreographer, and eventually added live vocals to create the full experience.

I’m heavily influenced by legends like Michael Jackson, Prince, and of course Bruno Mars—that showmanship, funk, and soul is everything I bring to the stage. My favorite artist? Gotta be Bruno—no question. And the greatest song of all time? I’d say Uptown Funk… that groove just never quits.

Most every booking is for an hour. I usually come into the event being introduced before I come out and perform with live vocals, never lip syncing. Depending on the space for entertaining and whether or not I have a wireless mic, I either perform on stage or perform on stage and come down to also engage with the crowd. After the last song, everyone wants to start taking pictures and videos for their social media. Depending how long that lasts (because of the amount of guests at the event), I may mix & mingle with the crowd, throw in another song or even dance with the crowd when the DJ's are around :) I am also always open for special requests.

Both! To put it simple, if I get book a kids event, you get every song radio friendly. Every other event is performed with the original lyrics, unless requested not to. I am open to both!

Yes. To start, I am based out of Los Angeles, California. Every quote for an out of town or state performance comes with an all inclusive quote, which means it includes hotel, airfare and ground transportation.

Just water & breaks, yes. Sometimes right after the performance for a minute or two to catch my breath!

I usually arrive about 30 minutes before showtime to get everything dialed in and ready to go. Performance-wise, I currently offer 3-5 song sets—12-20 minute Bruno Mars-style show, depending on what the event needs.

Absolutely—I love performing outdoors, especially when the weather’s right and the vibe is electric. There’s something about an open-air crowd that just hits different, and I bring that same high-energy Bruno Mars show wherever the stage is.

Clients definitely have a say—I always want the show to fit the vibe of the event. I’ve got a solid Bruno Mars repertoire ready to go, but I’m happy to tailor the setlist or include special requests to make it personal and unforgettable.

Most clients describe my performances as high-energy, interactive, and incredibly authentic. They always tell me it feels like they got the closest thing to a real mini Bruno Mars concert, with a show that gets everyone smiling, dancing, and talking about it long after the night is over.

Yes. If you're looking for a live vocal performance, I would need a microphone (preferably wireless), speakers or a PA system and a way to play the music! Think of a DJ set up with a wireless mic. I send the music to you or the DJ in downloadable .mp3 files. I never travel with equipment.

Yes. I always arrive a little earlier to warm up and usually need someone to sneak me into the event so nobody see's me.
